Our Practice Areas

Healthcare Defense Litigation

The attorneys at Ekblom & Partners have decades of experience defending healthcare providers in actions alleging medical malpractice, as well as a variety of other healthcare-related tort and contract claims. Our healthcare litigation lawyers in New York are also retained by liability insurers to represent healthcare executives in claims involving directors and officers (“D&O”) liability, and physicians in state and federal investigations, including disciplinary proceedings before the OMPC and Fraud and Abuse allegations (Stark, Anti-Kickback, Qui Tam).

We provide personalized attention to our clients and develop a strategic approach to each case early in the process, allowing us to navigate through the various stages of litigation with focus and efficiency.

Corporate and Business Transactions

We advise healthcare entities on transactional issues, including negotiation and drafting of professional services agreements and other contracts relating to the practice of medicine, and enforcement of restrictive covenants. We also provide guidance to large medical practices on regulatory and compliance matters involving HIPAA and HITECH, data breaches, and billing issues.

General Liability Defense

Ekblom & Partners represent commercial landlords, large residential landlords, municipalities, and sports facilities in premises liability and toxic tort actions. Because many of these cases involve serious or catastrophic injuries, requiring a careful analysis of medical issues relating to liability, causation, and damages, our clients benefit greatly from the broad healthcare knowledge and resources we are able to bring to bear in defending these cases.
